When Xu Er led his men to chase after him, the person who shot the arrow had long since disappeared.

Lu Xiyue tried to save him, but the arrow pierced through his larynx, and also broke the main artery in his neck, so he was powerless to recover.

Merchant Li, who was in a pool of blood, opened his eyes in shock, obviously dying.

Xiao Yunheng took the washed handkerchief to wipe Lu Xiyue's hands, Zhao Pinqian at the side leaned over and said solemnly: "There is no proof of death, Zhao Tianmao is still cautious in doing things as always."

He knew that it would not be so easy to get rid of Zhao Tianmao.

Ayu only brought businessman Li, and when he didn't see Zhao Tianmao, he had expected it, but he didn't expect Zhao Tianmao to be so cruel.

Anyway, it's a life.

Lu Xiyue felt strange, "He has such a capable person under his command, why didn't he just send someone to kill you, instead it took so much trouble."

As contemptuous as a killer who just shot an arrow through his throat.

Zhao Pinqian shrugged, having the same doubts as her: "I also want to know the answer to this question."

Sometimes he even wondered if there was something wrong in Zhao Pinqian's heart, and he must kill him himself to be satisfied.

"Unfortunately, Merchant Li is dead, and there is no witness, so we can't do anything to Zhao Tianmao."

Lu Xiyue patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him softly: "In the end, the other party has turned someone off. At least, in a short period of time, he will never dare to do anything again."

Even if Merchant Li died, Xu Er heard those words clearly, even if they could not be used as testimony, but as long as Zhao Pinqian had an accident in Qiong County, then the first suspect would be Zhao Tianmao.

Xiao Yunheng silently took her hand off Zhao Pinqian's shoulder, stuffed the washed handkerchief into her hand, and said lightly, "I didn't wipe my fingers clean."

Lu Xiyue took the handkerchief, and she saw some blood between her fingers.

Zhao Pinqian glanced at him suspiciously.

Just touch it and see how jealous this man is.

Xu Er and the others failed to catch up with them, so they turned back quickly and took away the businessman Li who had become a cold corpse.

Not long after, the county magistrate sent a message to see Zhao Pinqian.

It is an indisputable fact that Merchant Li poisoned and murdered him. He personally admitted that he is dead. Now that the person is dead, the case cannot be tried. However, according to the law, Merchant Li must compensate the victim.

In view of his death and the fact that his family property was still there, the county magistrate directly ordered people to raid Li's house, confiscating half of it and paying the other half to Zhao Pinqian.

In a blink of an eye, Li's mansion, which was regarded as a prestigious family in Qiong County, collapsed, not to mention business, even the ancestral house was taken away.

The folks instantly had something to talk about after dinner.

"I really don't understand. Merchant Li can't figure out why he poisoned Min He and the owner of the pawn shop. Is there any enmity between them?"

"You don't know that. There is a relative in my family who works at Merchant Li's house. I heard that Merchant Li took a fancy to the fruit drink shop, but he didn't buy it. That's why he hated Boss Zhao."

The few people sitting around the tea table were stunned when they heard this.

"What I heard is different from yours." The young man at the next table suddenly interjected, and joined the conversation under the puzzled and expectant eyes of several people.

"My next-door neighbor's younger brother works in the county government office. I heard from him that Merchant Li poisoned Boss Zhao because he took advantage of others."

As soon as this remark came out, several people were in an uproar.

The man said again: "Do you know the identity of Boss Zhao?"

"What identity?"

"He, he was originally the eldest son of Tianxia Commercial Bank."

Gasps sounded all around.

Who doesn't know about the world's commercial companies, the wealthy merchants in the world can pick out a shop at random, enough for ordinary people to live for several lifetimes.

In the teahouse, discussions and suspicions continued.

In the wing room in the middle of the second floor, the door was half-closed, the young man listened to the voice downstairs without missing a word, his brows and eyes were full of hostility, which greatly reduced his handsome appearance.

"Third Young Master, what should we do now?" Qing Zhu couldn't help asking.

The plan was well planned, but who knew that A Yu would actually double-decker and help Zhao Pinqian plot against them.

Now that this incident has become a storm, even these ordinary people know that it was their instigation that Merchant Li did such a thing.

Zhao Tianmao put the hot tea back and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Where is Ayu?"

Qingzhu replied: "It seems that he is also in prison, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out in seven or eight years."

Zhao Tianmao snorted softly: "I think it was my good elder brother who discovered my plan and turned against Ayu at a critical moment."

If not, how could Ah Yu be imprisoned.

"Young Master, what you mean is that Ah Yu knows the truth about Miss Yun's incident."

Miss Yun is A Yu's younger sister, who belonged to their son two years ago, and is now being raised outside by their son.

Zhao Tianmao didn't bother to talk about it, he didn't care about Ayu's life or death.

Businessman Li is dead, and even his family property has been paid out. The rumors are too tight, and he can no longer do anything.

Besides, on the other side of the capital, he has postponed his life for a long time, and if he doesn't go back, he might be suspicious.

Anyway, staying here is useless, it is better to go back first.

It's just that before he goes back, he has to meet someone.

After dealing with Merchant Li, Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng planned to take a quick two-day rest and then prepare for the dim sum shop.

She still has a lot of money on hand, more than enough to open a dim sum shop.

Zhao Pinqian sorted out the things that the county magistrate paid him, found the two, and gave away all the assets he got.

In the heavy wooden box were the title deed of a house, the title deed of a liquor store and 500 taels of silver.

Merchant Li originally had three liquor shops, but they were closed down after his death, and the other two were naturally sold, and the money was confiscated.

Half of the assets that Zhao Pinqian got, in detail, was actually less than half.

Of course, he is sitting on tens of millions of wealth, so he doesn't care about these small money.

"You give me all these?" Lu Xiyue asked him again uncertainly.

Zhao Pinqian nodded generously: "You have asked me several times, how could this little thing surprise you so much, it is really useless."

The sum of all these is not worth the assets of his pawn shop.

Lu Xiyue: "..."

Is it because she is worthless? It is obvious that his actions are too shocking.

How could she accept such a heavy gift if she didn't get paid for nothing.

Seeing what Lu Xiyue was thinking, Zhao Pinqian mercilessly exposed it: "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, let's not say that you are the girl I know, even if it was not you, I would not have thought of the matter of Merchant Li. Here's the trick."

Originally, he let A Yu plan to trick Zhao Tianmao here, but in fact he wanted to tie him up, so that he could kill him without anyone noticing, and he had the right to take revenge.

"Besides, you don't want to open a dim sum shop. After you open it, let me make it bigger." He didn't suffer.

Lu Xiyue is not a hypocritical person, but this gift is too heavy. The ancestral house of Merchant Li alone is worth several thousand taels of silver.

"He's right, keep it." Xiao Yunheng closed the wooden box for her and handed it to her.
